His father, Paul Endrei, the 53-year-old senior pastor at the church, also faces criminal charges for allegedly molesting the same girl beginning in 2005. He allegedly also had sexual contact with the girl in 2009, 2010 and 2013 and had sexual relations with her while he was in a position of authority over her in 2013.

The elder Endrei faces two counts of sexual battery and four counts of gross sexual imposition.

Defense attorney Jack Bradley, who represents both men, has said his clients deny any wrongdoing.
